TOKYO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 31, 2014 —
Toshiba
Corporation (TOKYO:6502) Semiconductor & Storage Products Company
today announced the launch of low trigger current triac couplers in SO6
packages that reduce input-side power consumption to one-fifth that of
Toshiba existing products. Mass production of the two new products, the
non-zero-cross type “TLP267J” and the zero-cross type “TLP268J”, starts
today.

The new triac couplers support a low trigger current of 3mA (max), with
selected spec-types supporting 2mA (max) also available. They can reduce
input-side power consumption to one-fifth of Toshiba existing products,
“TLP265J” and “TLP266J”. This low-trigger-drive can contribute to
flexibility of design and lower energy consumption. The triac couplers
also secure reinforced insulation [1] at an isolation voltage
of 3750Vrms, making them suitable for both industrial and consumer
applications. They also meet JEDEC standards for reflow mounting.
